So what you're saying is i am WRONG for liking Attack Attack!

There's no right and no wrong way, and I really don't give a damn about what you listen to. But I honestly can't see what's so good about Attack Attack!.

He just said what we're all thinking. We didn't bring up the topic, zman did.

Let's say you and a friend are in Las Vegas and decide to go to a world-class buffet. They have every variety of food to choose from, and almost every culture is well represented. After making your own selection, you sit down with a plate of paella, steak, and sushi. Then you notice your friend has left the buffet and is standing in line at a scuzzy looking fast food restaurant next door.

Is your friend wrong? No, he just prefers ****ty food.

This discussion isn't going to get anywhere if you think there is no level of objectivity to anything.

My final answer to your original question: Metalcore gets a lot of hate because there are a lot of people that think it is really ****ty. It's as simple as that.

I was 16 when I joined this particular forum (I am now 19). In that short amount of time my tastes have broadened immensely, and I like all kinds of music that I never thought I would. I also hate a lot of music that I used to like (reading some of my old posts can be cringe-inducing). What I can tell you is that if you actually try listening to new things you'll probably hate Attack Attack less than a year from now.

Well if the majority is always right then metal is just loud guitars with occasional satanic yelling(cause that's how "most" people perceive it).

No, what he's trying to point out to you is that there's nothing wrong with eating a burger or a KFC and enjoying it, but don't kid yourself that the same amount of effort, skill, knowledge & talent went into making it.
